DanceDanceRevolution X2 (PS2) (North America)

...where have you been? lol

---

Pie-kun: Thank you for this screenshot showing doubles mode! *heaves a huge sigh of relief*

I live in perpetual fear that Konami's going to make the PS2 DDR releases follow suit with the Wii and 360 and drop it. *paranoia*

Now let's just hope that the announcer doesn't make me want to strangle him and then myself. Wickety-whack free, please, Konami.

Anyone else notice they dropped the 20 scale from DDR X and returned to the 10 scale?

---

They didn't, that's that song's rating on the X scale.

Wow....it would be nice if that was a nine on the old scale though

It, at least in the XBox360 trailer, has a Challenge chart which appears to be an 8, so either an 11 or 12 on the X scale? Well, hopefully it does have a Challenge chart; it certainly needs one. Expert is pretty boring.

Hmm, this is interesting. Taken from the new "Game Information" page on konami.com/ddr

Woo-hoo...

I remember them saying the same thing for SuperNova CS.

blegh, I'm not gonna care about it until I see it for myself when I snag a copy of this game. And even then, it won't matter much as not that many places have a DDRX machine, or is willing to upgrade.

Looks pretty good.

Yay for Dance Dance Revolution song! What about Paranoia -Respect- or MAX.(period)?

They should have included L'amour et la liberte (DJ Silver and Darwin remix instead, unless it's an unlock)

All right, here we go:

- Why is X2 missing some licenses? Aww...
- With a 60 song cap, the Groove Radar Specials probably weren't the best choice.
- La Bamba? Seriously?
- L'amour original, and we still haven't seen the remix? Seriously?
- The best of X, represent.
- LOL look! It's a Challenge remix! They haven't given up hope on us yet!
- Some fantastic revival choices, stuff I haven't played in forever but still love.
- They've committed to Pluto The First, eh? Hope those steps were fixed!

Overall, the lack of licenses and a few questionable song choices can't really dampen this list. Looks solid, and if the X2 KOs are as strong as we all believe them to be, then this is still a great song list. Really looking forward to it!

Personal impressions: I'm a little peeved that this game is being limited to 60 songs, but it is a pretty hot selection of 60 songs. Great selection of tunes to bring into from the Japanese releases, and the revivals are surprisingly good. Of course, there are a few that make me scratch my head (La Bamba? Really?), but it's an overall solid list to me.

Wow. Licenses are cut by half. Glad HP3 isn't getting Baile la Samba.

Nice list. I'm loving the fact that were finally geting DDR.

Still it could be better but the whole l'amor bit is confusing,wonder if it's a typo lol

I find it awkard to have a 60 song cap on a ps2 ddr though, I mean the wii has 58 songs lol, with the possiblity of imports...

I am super disappointed with this game. If only my CF worked with HP3.

Eh, maybe my CF will work with it. I guess I'll waste my money on this anyway.

This game really is for the hardcore DDR fans you could tell

Impresosns:

-Shocked that they cut the licenses in half for KO's. This just goes to show you what this certain game is being cattered to.

-Would have liked if they replaced Baile La Samba, Love Is Orange, Tierra Buena (the newer songs) with some newer/better songs. Songs like Freeway Shuffle and Raspberry Heart would have worked well because they got challenge steps in X.

-Wish that they put more Extreme revivals (V, Frozen Ray, Jet World?) I'm VERY excited for DDR but I could have done without Un Deux Trois and La Bamba again...

-Excited to hear the new KO's!

-We got Mars Wars 3.... god that songs creeps me out.

- I'm happy that we got the Air Specials, but they could have been replaced with even more songs we didn't get. Or better yet, keep the Air specials AND get a few extra songs we haven't gotten.

-How did you get this track list?

Konami.

For the JP version of X2, I want them to revive exotic ethnic(probably one of those songs that needs to be revived and loved again)

worth buying at least for my PS2.
